Locked medium shot. The subject from the reference photo sits at a table presenting a traditional red envelope to the viewers. 0-2s he holds up the red envelope, smiles brightly, and bows his head slightly in a polite greeting. 2-6s he carefully opens the envelope flap, looking inside as a brilliant golden light spills out, illuminating his face. 6-8s a miniature, glowing 3D golden dragon made of sparkling light bursts out of the envelope and swirls rapidly around his shoulders. 8-10s he follows the glowing dragon with wide eyes, points at it in absolute amazement, and gives the camera a thrilled thumbs-up. Ambient festive music + magical chime sfx. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
